Melvin Oliver Released

Sorry about the repeating sentences in the last post. I’m not sure what happened, but it’s been fixed up. In more important news, the 49ers called to say they’d released Melvin Oliver, a sixth-round choice from the ’06 draft.

Oliver started 14 games his rookie season and then blew out his knee during last season’s spring workouts. The team said it wanted to give Oliver a chance to hook on with another team so that’s why the 49ers released him now.

The team also had to make room for rookie linebacker Larry Grant after signing him last week.
